Curation

What a curator decided about this record, and why. A record built from several source concepts can carry one decision per concept.

  1. CONFIRM_UNGROUNDED 2026-08-21 · codex-gpt-5

    Confirmed UNGROUNDED: no ontology term fits this concept. Non-habitat screen review (#108): Engineered > Bioremediation > Hydrocarbon > Xylene denotes a xylene-contaminated engineered environment undergoing remediation, not pure xylene as the habitat. An external chemical term supplies the contaminant identity but is outside the committed slice. (source concept habitatmech:GOLD.602ee034f7)

  2. DEFINED 2026-09-11 · codex-gpt-5

    Defined as 'xylene bioremediation material' under ENVO:00010483 'environmental material'. Definition authored from the existing item-level #108 decision and the committed persistent-organic-pollutant report's review of contaminant-class-indexed bioremediation habitats; no new paid research was commissioned. GOLD places Xylene under Engineered > Bioremediation > Hydrocarbon, and #108 confirmed the source denotes a xylene-contaminated engineered environment undergoing remediation rather than pure xylene as a habitat. ENVO:00010483 'environmental material' is the tightest vendored genus broad enough to span contaminated soil, sediment, water, reactor liquids, and biofilter matrices; ENVO:00002146 'xylene contaminated soil' is xylene-specific but too narrow for non-soil remediation matrices. parent_mode=REPLACE drops the inherited Hydrocarbon parent because habitatmech:GOLD.e77998b825 is a chemical class marked NOT_APPLICABLE, not a microbial habitat.
